I'm seeing the occasional article asking things like, "hey if it gets bad enough should we maybe dump a poo poo ton of Sulfur Dioxide into the atmosphere and dim the sky, that'll help with too much sunlight warming up the planet, right?" and yup, we're gonna gently caress things up real good one way or another.

Pineapple and Bacon is a legit good combination. So is Artichoke and roasted red pepper if you are vegetarian.

Also thanks all, I’ll stick with CSPAM going forward.

So I just want to vent for a moment. I decided to try to post in D&D. Particularly the Local Politics s thread. I figured it may be a good resource of Goons organizing in groups around the country to remove Republicans from power and push for liberal candidates.

It of course was not that. Here is what I learned about the current positions of D&D.

1) there is a huge difference between a liberal and a leftist. A leftist is pure and good and what everyone should be. A liberal is a filthy establishment centrist and an enemy of the people. There is no definition of what makes one liberal or a leftist that the thread could agree on.

2) The pod save America crew are enemies of leftists. This is because one of them may or may not have been involved with a group with pushed for Medicare for all, but wasn’t true single payer. Therefore they are scum

3) The DSA are enemies of the left because they dare work with sworn enemies of the left...the Democrats

4) A nuclear Armed Iran is cool and good.

So yea, I’m sorry to vent. My brain is so broke right now after learning that I, a card carrying DSA member am not a true enough leftist to post in the local politics thread.


Anyway I can tie this all together by saying D&D are a symptom of how hard pushing leftist politics in America is. Because MAGA chuds will crawl over molten glass (as another poster put it) to vote Trump even if he had a legit stroke on camera and told everyone to drink bleach. But leftists will never vote anyone who doesn’t meet alllllll checkboxes in their long, ever growing, and ever changing purity criteria. Sigh.

Yeah, everyone but 12, 77, and 51 are down here now. MCX is under stocked and under staffed, almost no one lives off base so we basically live under Marine rules 24/7, there's basically nothing close to base except the bars I guess and 711, the train station is like double the walk time, rank based alcohol restrictions, everything but one mini mart is farther from the barracks than the flightline was in Atsugi.


Pros: There's a half a Chili's (It's understaffed)

We traded casual access to Tokyo/Yokohama and a base ignored by everyone for this.

Now everyone wants to cross platform to h60s or get out. I'm personally now more open to billets in Yokosuka.

Putin has issued the order to reintroduce politruks and commissars to the Russian Army . Someone must be worried about loyalty.

Soon they will probably pull down a curtain and reveal that USSR never went away. Then they declare themselves winners in the cold war.

The order goes by the name Ukaz N.456. General Andrei Kartapolov is the new head commissar.

Putin did say once that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the worst disaster in world politics (or something along those lines). Bringing back the old ways, I see...

I really hope they make it a Space Corp instead and place it under the Department of the Air Force.

A while back when people were seriously talking about asteroid mining I was hoping Dyson arrays would be brought up as a possible energy crisis or global warming solution.

Remember the microwave generator in sim city? That but without missing or just use something else to transfer energy or reflect/absorb some light and heat to counteract global warming. But I'm sure the sulfur dioxide/super cancer idea would win instead.

poo poo, with engineered algae we could be producing oil in space.

My point is space! Lets fund the everloving poo poo out of NASA. Who knows what practical applications they'll come up with but I love the ones we got out of the space race.

There was a great thread a couple days ago that I can't find anymore cause Twitter search sucks but it was about how Polynesian migration success varied greatly based on what kind of islands they ended up on. On the low islands with minimal freshwater and arable land they could barely survive even though they could walk around and breathe the air and catch fish from the ocean as compared to a space colony.

Also there are massive nickel deposits in Australia that haven't been touched because they're too difficult to reach and thus uneconomical. Space mining is obviously magnitudes more expensive and harder to do.

Basically at this point in time putting people in space is stupid and we should take that money, look at the stars with robots and spend the rest on not turning the only habitual rock in the known galaxy into a thermal shithole
